Thymus x citriodorus 'Lime' – Lime Thyme
A delightful and distinctive thyme, Thymus x citriodorus 'Lime' offers a fresh, zesty lime fragrance that sets it apart from its lemon-scented cousins. Its bright green foliage forms a low, spreading mat that is both ornamental and useful in the kitchen — the lime-scented leaves are wonderful in fish dishes, desserts, and herbal teas. In summer, soft pale lilac blooms emerge above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies. A charming addition to herb gardens, containers, and border edges.
